I usually don't comment on your videos, but I have to disagree with you on the Legion mat. I have been using the exact mat you displayed in your video for over a year. It has a great feel, but that's not the most important thing. I usually play Commander. The mat does not move around on the table when it there is a deck on top of it. I have been satisfied with it's quality thus far. Just FYI.

Playmats make great mouse pads, and the large area makes them a perfect alternative to gaming mouse pads, which are larger than a normal one to account for people who use their arms to aim and require lots of room to swipe to turn fast. If you are a Magic player who games, you probably already do this, but if you haven't thought about it, or even if you don't game, you won't be disappointed in this life hack.

I could have gone with a lot of bigger offers from companies that were NOT local game stores, but I wanted to work with an actual store that offered great events and practiced multiple ways of supporting gamers and the gaming community. CK does amazing work with their charities as well as providing great tournaments and events for players. I am proud to be associated with them, and they feel, as do I, that the local game store is the heart of the Magic community.

All-fabric (fabrisoft) playmats are not what I’m looking for. I don’t want to be annoyed by my playmat constantly sliding around on the playing surface. When I play Magic, I like my playmat to stay put and not slide all over the place while I’m tapping my mana or one or more of the creatures under my control or trying to pick up my cards from the mat. I much prefer mats with rubber backs.
